Procul Harem/A Salty Dog is an inspired rock album filled with nautical allusions of nearly Wagnerian proportions. The early BeeGees song Odessa is about an 1800's shipwreck, but unlike A Salty Dog does not carry the seafaring theme past the opening cut.
How about Roger McGuinn's "Cardiff Rose" or Tom Waits' "Singapore"? "Singapore" may not exactly qualify as a shanty, but it is an enteratining nautically themed song.
